Gary Neville has revealed that Arsene Wenger's style of football made Manchester United alter the way they played as the teams battled it out for the Premier League title.

With the Red Devils dominating the first few years of the league following its inception in 1992, the arrival of the Frenchman in north London in 1996 saw the sides go head-to-head in some titanic clashes over the following decade.

After leading Arsenal to their first league title in his first full season in charge at Highbury, Neville revealed that the 1997-98 side was the best he had ever come up against.

"The biggest compliment is that he played a level of football, a quality of football that made us change the way we played against them and we didn't change for too many.

"You may change for Barcelona, you may change for Real Madrid but you won't change for too many teams in English football but his was certainly a team we would adapt for to go more defensive and change our style and that is the biggest compliment I can pay him really."

Following the criticism Wenger has received over the past few years, Neville believes he will rightfully get the send off he truly deserves in his final few games as manager.

"What he has achieved at Arsenal is immense. They're shouldn't be a negative sense at all today.

"He now deserves the most incredible send off from all in the coming weeks."
